CURTAIN-POLE Specification of Letters Patent.

Application filed April 7, 1908. Serial No. 425,711.

Patented Sept. 22, 1908.

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, VERNON BRADY, a citizen of the United States ofAmerica, residing at McKeesport, in the county of Allegheny nd State ofPennsylvania, have invented certain new and useful Improvements inCurtain-Poles, of which the following is a specification, referencebeing had therein to the accompanying drawing.

This invention relates to a curtain fixture, and the objects of myinvention are, first, to provide positive and reliable means forfastening curtains to a curtain pole; second, to obviate the necessityof using rings and pins as a fastening means; third, to provide a simpleand inexpensive curtain fastener, and fourth to provide a fixture bywhich curtains can be easily draped upon a curtain pole.

I attain the above objects by a fixture that will be presently describedin detail and then specifically pointed out in the appended claims.

In the drawings forming a part of this specification, Figure 1 is afront elevation of my curtain fixture. Fig. 2 is a perspective view of aportion of the same. Fig. 3 is a horizontal sectional view of a portionof the fixture, and Fig. 4 is a cross sectional view of the fixture.

I11 the accompanying drawings, 1 designates a curtain pole of aconventional form.

This pole at each end is provided with a hanger 2 having a slot 3 formedtherein.

The hanger embraces a portion of the pole and is secured thereto by ascrew 4.

Adjustably and pivotally connected to each hanger are tubes 5 and 6,said tubes being fixed with relation to the hanger 2 by a set screw 7.The tubes 5 are connected together by a rod 8 provided intermediate itsends with a revoluble button 9. In the tubes 6 are loosely mounted rods10 having their confronting ends provided with eyelets 11.

The curtains 12 to be suspended from the rod, rods carried by the otherof curtain pole 1 are draped over the pole and caught between the tubes5 and the tubes 6, the tubes 6 being locked in engagement with the tubes5 by the button 9 which is rotated one-quarter a revolution after theeyelets 11 have been placed in engagement with said button. The curtainscan be simply draped from the tubes 5 and 6 if desired.

The slottedhangers 2 permit of the tubes 5 and 6 being adjustedvertically with relation to the pole 1, while the telescoped rods 8 and10. permit of the fixture being adjusted for curtain poles of variouslengths and window frames of various Widths.

My fixture is constructed of light and durable metal and can be easilyapplied to an ordinary curtain pole. v It will be noted that suchchanges as fall within the scope of the appended claims can be resortedto without departing from the spirit of the invention.

Having now described my invention what I claim as new, is

1. In a curtain fixture, the combination with a curtain pole, of slottedhangers carried thereby, tubes adjustably connected to said hangers, arod for connecting some of said tubes, a revoluble button carried bysaid said tubes and having eyelet ends adapted to engage upon saidbutton, substantially as and for the purpose described. 2. Thecombination of a curtain pole, of hangers carried thereby, tubesadjustably connected to said hangers, rods carried by said tubes, andmeans carried by one of said rods for holding the other of said rods inengagement therewith.

In testimony whereof I afiix my signature in the presence of twowitnesses.

VERNON BRADY.
